According to the understanding of later generations, the cooperation mode finally determined by Li Luoyang, Wu Cheng and Zhou Lin is that Li Luoyang gives technology and Wu Cheng gives funds to Zhou Lin as a OEM factory. Zhou Lin, as a OEM factory, must have the lowest profit.

Therefore, Li Luoyang and Wu Chengdu feel sorry for Zhou Lin, but Zhou Lin himself doesn't think so. In his opinion, the most important thing is to ensure the continuation of family inheritance and have a steady stream of new stories to see. As for money, it's just enough that life doesn't bring things that death doesn't bring.

After finalizing the details and drawing up the calligraphy and painting of the text bookmark, Wu Chengcheng readily took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve.

"Although I'm a county leader, I'm offering almost 300 liang of silver a year. These are all my pocket money. Don't spend them in Luoyang!"

Li Luoyang has just quietly converted three hundred liang of silver, which is roughly equivalent to 300000 in future generations. It should be considered a good first investment. Although he appreciates Wu Cheng, a relative of the emperor, he still buried some foreshadows in the contract just signed from the standpoint of a businessman, which is a kind of self-protection, It is also a manifestation of the merchant's cunning nature.

For example, it is written in the contract that the profits of all stories below "Strange Tales from a lonely studio" are distributed according to this proportion, but Li Luoyang can not publish stories in the name of "Strange Tales from a lonely studio" in the future. Of course, Li Luoyang doesn't think that he can only make money by being a "literary scribe" in the future. When "literary scribe" is only the first bucket of gold Li Luoyang is going to dig. When he takes over the stack of silver notes from Wu Cheng, the first bucket of gold has been obtained.

"Then, start?"

Seeing that Li Luoyang had collected the silver tickets, Zhou Lin couldn't help standing up and rubbing his hands. After all, he was not a relative of the emperor. He could get a salary without doing anything every year. Only when the bookstore was running could he get a harvest.

Wu Cheng laughed, then stood up and said, "let's start. I can't wait to see more and better stories. Don't let me down in Luoyang."

"Don't worry. If there's nothing wrong, I'll buy the four treasures of study first. Oh, this 50 Liang silver will be used as the deposit for printing. Shopkeeper Zhou, keep it and deduct the expenses after printing in the future."

"Then I have to write you an IOU first."

Zhou Lin's feelings belong to feelings, and money belongs to money, which makes Li Luoyang very satisfied, and greatly improves Zhou Lin's weight in Li Luoyang's heart. When Zhou Lin gives Li Luoyang the written receipt, it also determines his future position around Li Luoyang.

Zhou Lin, who appeared satisfied after taking the silver ticket, didn't know how correct his action was today. He didn't realize it until many years later when he sat in the position of the big shopkeeper who had been renamed "ink Publishing Group".

Li Luoyang and Wu Cheng came out of the bookstore together. They said goodbye at the door. Li Luoyang went to Chen's paper shop to buy the four treasures of study. Although he felt that he had just started "reading and writing", in fact, he did not necessarily have to buy from the best Chen's paper shop in the county, but considering the relationship between Lin Feng, Li Luoyang recognized even if the price was slightly expensive.

In these days, the products are not particularly rich. At least in Anning County, Li Luoyang can't feel it. Even the best Chen's paper shop doesn't give him much choice. When he has no choice, it's natural to buy things. In the twinkling of an eye, he chooses to check out and pack out.

With spare money in his pocket, Li Luoyang, who was walking on the road, couldn't help looking around. When he saw some delicious and good-looking food, he always had to ask and buy it if appropriate. Therefore, when he walked out of the market, he couldn't carry much in his hand.

"Isn't this Li Luoyang? Well, I finally met him today."

A shrill voice, like a scream, suddenly sounded from behind and almost scared away the pancakes in Li Luoyang's mouth.

"Who?"

Li Luoyang turned his head and saw a face covered with white powder.

"Zhang Qing, what bad luck!"

Zhang Qing, Li Pingwu's wife, was stunned. He wanted to turn around and leave, but Zhang Qing didn't intend to let him go.

"Stop! Where are you going? Now that we hit it today, let's settle the accounts!"

"I have nothing to settle with you!" Li Luoyang swallowed the last mouthful of pancake and looked at the man beside Zhang Qing. He didn't think that man was also an acquaintance.

He was tall and powerful, and his facial features were stylish, but his eyes were a little obscene. When he frowned and stared at Li Luoyang, his eyebrows were even more fierce.

Zhang Jiong, the county government constable, was at the river with Li Luoyang the night before yesterday. He had a fierce battle with his colleagues over Zhu Donghe. I don't know whether it was his outstanding skill, luck or other reasons. In short, several other constables were slightly or severely injured, but Zhang Jiong didn't lose a hair all over his body.

Here, before Zhu Donghe's over, Zhang Jiong has leisure to go shopping with his "cousin" Zhang Qing. When he met Li Luoyang in the street, Zhang Jiong was in a helpless mood.

"Brother, you see, it's this guy who has hurt our family. You must help me out!" Zhang Qing pulled Zhang Jiong's sleeve and twisted her waist from side to side. If her waist is like a water snake, maybe she still looks good. Unfortunately, the years are unforgiving. Li Luoyang looks too much and wants to vomit.

At this time, Zhang Qing doesn't know that Li Luoyang is already a registered "figure" in the heart of Liu county magistrate. If Zhang Jiong still wanted to stand out for Zhang Qing and Li Pingwu in the past, after going through what happened that night, he has attributed Li Luoyang to the group of people who "can't offend".

"Brother, why don't you talk? Hurry up and ask him to promise to sell the house of Li Jiacun to me. I said Li Luoyang. Anyway, you have become a zombie dog in the county. Why don't you keep the old house and don't sell it? You won't naively think your mother is still alive? I think your mother must have been dumped in the wilderness, or she might have been killed before she died."

"Enough!"

If Zhang Qing only said something else, Li Luoyang might be able to ignore it, but he cursed Lin Luoshui when he came, and his words became more and more unbearable. How can Li Luoyang resist it? With a roar, he threw away the things in his hand, jumped slightly, and slapped Zhang Qing's face full of white powder.

Zhang Qing's scream was mixed with a loud slap in the face. Zhang Jiong was also slightly stunned, and then raised his foot and kicked Li Luoyang out. Although he knew that he should not offend Li Luoyang, he was used to bullying in Anning County as a constable and Zhangjia man. When did he suffer such a loss.

Even after he kicked it out, Zhang Jiong regretted it, but then he thought, no matter how much county magistrate Liu valued it, Li Luoyang is just a hick from Li's village. At most, he will give county magistrate Liu more benefits in the future.

Li Luoyang couldn't avoid Zhang Jiong's foot. He only felt the impact of great force on his stomach and instantly made him fall back. Then there was severe pain, which made him want to curl up.

"Good, you Zhang Jiong!"

Two rows of white teeth tumbled in his mouth. Li Luoyang bent down to hold his belly and stared at Zhang Jiong. He was about to say something, but suddenly found a small detail.

It is this detail that makes Li Luoyang doubt the relationship between Zhang Jiong and Zhang Qing.
